Muslim Gamzatovich Gadzhimagomedov vs. Thabiso Desmond Leon Mchunu RBR.

Both top prospects. Rather early to have them fight each other.

 

They look like boxers from different weight divisions - Jafarov is taller and much longer-armed.

 

Artem Sergeevich Suslenkov vs. Jack Mulowayi Nsendula, 10 rounds @ heavyweight

 

Belgian (no Congolese?) and Russian anthems.

 

Seated at ringside: Dmitry Kudryashov, Denis Lebedev, Alexander Povetkin.

 

All four of Big Jack's opponents since his KO8 loss to Jalolov in 2022 have losing records. Combined they are 38-121-8.

Wouldn't rule out the former basketball player being a banana peel here, though. Suslenkov is a bit sus as far as HW prospects go: he's only 6'1" (giving up three inches of height today) and didn't even manage to drop a shot old Christian Hammer. Mulowayi has scored an upset stoppage of an unbeaten Russian before, in Apti Alkhazurovich Daptaev.

 

Suslenkov already cut/swollen from punches.

 

Usyk utilized Mulowayi as a sparring partner prepping for Fury, interesting.

 

19-19
